The Road to Craigellachie - revisited

by Hans Offringa, Becky Lovett Offringa (Editor)

A discovery tour through the world of whisky and Scotland, with an occasional detour. The journey starts in the attic of a stately home, back in 1974, and ends more than 30 years later in the Craigellachie Hotel of Speyside with its world-famous Quaich whisky bar. Along the way, the reader is taken on a variety of small by-roads that offer access to the fascinating world of whisky. With tongue-in-cheek humor, the author depicts how he has grown, slowly but steadily, from an amateur enthusiast into a professional whisky connoisseur. While being entertained, you will learn a lot about Scotland and its whiskies, whether you are making your first acquaintance or continuing a lifelong pursuit. World famous Scottish whisky writer and presenter Charles MacLean wrote about The Road to Craigellachie, “A journey embracing 35 years of exploration into the pleasures of Scotch whisky and Scotland. Hans Offringa is a companionable, perceptive and well-informed guide, and his account is a pleasure to read.”

Lovely whisky travel book. Author switch between his early years when he is discovering Scotland and its whiskies and when he is an established book publisher and author and keep visiting Scotland. Enjoy his exploration and learning from others on his path on how to appreciate a dram of uisge beatha. Very much appreciate the references to other whisky books. Just bought the book whisky classified by David Wishart looking forward reading this one. Last but not least throughout the book you will get the warm feeling a dram shall be shared with other similar minded people and that whisky anoraks love to share their drams and experiences with others. It's a long but windy road, so take your time and enjoy, slàinte.
